Christianity is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and oral teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. Christianity is the world's largest religion, with nearly 2.4 billion adherents, known as Christians. Christians believe that Jesus has a "unique significance" in the world. Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, and the saviour of humanity whose coming was prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequently, Christians refer to Jesus as Christ or the Messiah.
The foundations of Christian theology are expressed in ecumenical creeds. These professions of faith state that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust in him for the remission of their sins. The creeds further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven, where he reigns with God the Father. Most Christian denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge everybody, living and dead, and to grant eternal life to his followers. He is considered the model of a virtuous life.

Christianity
is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of
Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the Holy Bible. Christians
believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the
Old Testament. With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001,
Christianity is the world's largest religion. It is the predominant
religion in Europe, the Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Philippine
Islands, Australia, and New Zealand. It
is also growing rapidly in Asia, particularly in China and South
Korea. Christianity began in the 1st century AD as a Jewish
sect, and shares many religious texts with Judaism, specifically the
Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament. Like Judaism and Islam, Christianity is classified as
an Abrahamic religion.
